The very first image of black holes

Pretty cool event. I'm not sure exactly how this image was derived -- i.e., as articles have mentioned, it's not an actual photograph, it's simply the only way we can do it -- but it is fascinating. Would love to have an actual photograph, but it is depressing to know that will never happen...maybe a photo of a star someday in our lifetime if they can get the, whataver it is, solar sails up and running?
